Is this a good GPU? I'm looking to buy a 1070. I was going to get a agva 1070 FTW. Is there much difference between this and that?

Performance wise you won't notice the difference. For the price I would get this.

whats their customer service like, incase of return/ damaged on arrivial

Cheers for the info. Doesn't seem like too much of a big deal, but I guess it depends on whether you want to resell the games.

Nvidia just announced that they will be locked to the Graphics Card, so no more reselling the free games that come with the GPU. For Honor looks like fun, was gonna grab a 1070 but with the free game I can finally drop money on it. HOT.

Finally bit the bullet and got one, can finally get round to installing my watercooling stuff as well now.

Edit: Maybe not, EK don't do a full cover waterblock for it so back to the drawing board.

Kick in the teeth, just bought a 1070 a week ago and now you get a free game. Tempting to return under 10 day distance selling and buy again

I wish Wildlands looked anything like the game that was announced all those years ago. It looks like a PS3 game now.

RX490 out very soon, and that will almost certainly impact the price of the 1070 as that's the card it will be aligned to. I think 6GB 1060 will hit £200~ and 1070 will be £290/300 as a norm once that happens, maybe, perhaps :).

Asus make great products, but their CS is poor. For peace of mind and great CS, I would personally buy an EVGA GPU.

You, you'll get £8. You need to minus VAT.

Using a 970 ATM so this would be a decent upgrade but tempted to wait for the 1080 ti.

All the EVGA cards I previously owned have had noisy fans during gaming. Have sworn by the Asus DirectCU II range since, great fans and can't hear them on max. Is there any quiet EVGA cards?

It all depends on how much you want to spend on it. You can always wait for the next top of the range card. I got a 1070 and I am happy with it and probably will be for years to come.

Does this have a white backplate?

Nope, there's no back plate, unfortunately.

At the risk of being picky, that says "Radeon Pro 490", and seems more likely to be a dual-Polaris card rather than a Vega card. (It's also a synthetic benchmark.)

And (and this is even more egregious than not being the card you said it was!), the "source" is Ferrari100's favourite site, Wccftech. And even they say to take those benchmarks with a pinch of salt!

Still, good to know Bethesda realise how easy it is to get free publicity for their texture pack.

(For those with short memories, it's perhaps worth remembering that the 390 and 390X didn't affect the 970's price even the tiniest bit.)

Yes all 1070 have similar performance, same with all other models

The only differences are Noise and Tempeture, Oh and maybe Watt usage

The 390/390x were terrible cards though, they didn't even hide the fact they were recycling 290/290x.
